10+ Heartwarming Stories Behind Celebrities’ Wedding Rings
Usually, engagement rings have a diamond stone in the center of a simple band. But, many celebrities choose to think outside the box by having customized rings and end up having the most unique choice of all. 5-Minute Crafts can’t wait to share these amazing statement pieces with you.
1. Kate Middleton
This 12-carat oval sapphire heirloom ring bears 14 diamonds and it belonged to Princess Diana. The ring was originally crafted by Garrard & Co. They were the former crown jeweler during Princess Diana’s era.
2. Ariana Grande
The ring features an oval-shaped diamond ring where a pearl is set adjacent to the stone. The stone and the pearl are placed on a thin white gold band which could probably be 5-7 carats.
In 2014, she shared a pic of a gold pearl ring and said that her grandmother made a ring for her with the pearl from her late husband’s tie pin. He showed up in her dreams once and said it will protect her.
And when Dalton (Ariana’s beau) was deciding what the ring should look like, he said that the diamond must be angled and there must be a pearl along that bears a lot of sentimental value for Ariana.
3. Jennifer Aniston
This engagement ring from Justin Theroux is a trend-setting oval-shaped cushion cut solitaire, placed on yellow gold. The oval-cut diamond is more of the focal point of the engagement ring.
Jennifer was stunned when Justin proposed to her and was quite impressed by the ring he chose. He kept in touch with people she used to work with for years and was very lowkey about it, keeping it to a very small circle of people. Jennifer had no clue what kind of ring she’d like and Justin just simply knew what she likes.
4. Beyoncé
This ring from Jay-Z is an 18-carat, emerald cut, flawless diamond solitaire. The ring is worth more than $5 million and was designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
Even though they’re popular, they’ve always been a couple who never show off. There are no specific stories on where and when Jay-Z proposed to her. But on September 6, 2008, Beyonce showed off her ring for the first time. They dated for almost 6 years and it was only a matter of time before they got married.
5. Blake Lively
This engagement ring from Ryan Reynolds is a solitaire-set oval pink diamond in a light blush color. It’s rare to find pink diamonds, which just adds more value to the ring. It also bears a rose gold band that matches the stone and that is covered with more tiny sparkling diamonds as well. It’s a 12-carat ring and may have cost around $2 million.
When it came to deciding how the ring should be, Reynolds didn’t ask his wife for any input and worked with her friend and favorite jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz instead. Lively says that her favorite thing she owns is her engagement ring by her friend Schwartz because of the love and meaning it carries. She also didn’t have any clue what she wanted the ring to look like. “I married a gentleman”, she says.
6. Jennifer Lopez
When Ben Affleck proposed to JLo for the second time, he upped his game by offering an 8.5-carat green diamond ring. It features 2 trapezoid-shaped white diamonds flanked by golden prongs. Apparently, green is Lopez’s lucky color as well.
7. Meghan Markle
Just like Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle got Princess Diana’s jewels as well. The ring features a large center diamond from Botswana, where the couple spent their vacation together. It also bears 2 small stones surrounding it. They came from Princess Di’s own collection. Markle later redesigned it to feature a thin micro-pavé band as well.
8. Amal Clooney
Amal’s engagement ring from George Clooney features a huge emerald-cut diamond. They got married just a few months later. Their proposal story is equally noteworthy.
He set up the entire proposal, timed it out, and the song was coming. She goes up to do the dishes and he asks, “What are you doing?” and she returns to him. Then he said that he blew out the candle and the lighter is in the box behind her. So when she pulls the box, she sees the ring in there, pulled it out, and said, “It’s a ring”, in a way that someone has left it in there. Then he got down on one knee and proposed to her.
9. Hailey Baldwin
Hailey’s engagement ring from Justin Bieber bears a huge oval-shaped diamond placed on an 18 -carat gold band. The ring was custom designed by Bieber.
Maybe Bieber took note of a retweet by Hailey when she said, “If my ring isn’t as big as Blake Lively’s, I don’t want to get married.” Her ring is surely inspired by Blake Lively’s engagement ring by Ryan Reynolds.
10. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s first engagement ring from Taylor Kinney featured an enormous heart-shaped sparkler which was around 6 carats. It was a solitaire set with pavé diamonds on the side, and the band was platinum or white gold with a full-diamond set band. It also has the letters T and S with a heart in between which stands for “Taylor” and “Stefani.” The ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
11. Sofia Vergara
Sofia’s engagement ring from Joe Manganiello is a shiny pavé, with a halo setting that bears a cushion cut center stone that is firmly held in place with the help of 4 prong claws. It also has a platinum band that is adorned with intricate diamonds that only add more detail to the exceptional aesthetic of the ring.
Joe proposed to Sofia for marriage with a spectacular display of romance and promised her forever with a view of the beautiful mountains of Hawaii in the background. He did all of this in her native language, Spanish. Such an adorable proposal!
12. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie’s ring from Brad Pitt is a sizable emerald-cut center diamond. The diamond is further flanked with trapezoid and baguette diamonds that go down the shank of the platinum ring.
This engagement ring was made by a renowned jeweler in Beverly Hills, and it was designed by Brad Pitt. He had a very particular idea that he wanted to implement. He made sure that the style of the ring must align with Jolie’s personality and sophisticated style.
